Rain Gardens

... absorb water, reduce runoff, prevent flooding

What are Rain Gardens?

Rain gardens are depressional areas landscaped with perennial flowers and
native vegetation that soak up rainwater. They are strategically located to
capture runoff from impervious surfaces, such as roofs and streets. Rain gardens
fill with a few inches of water after a storm and then water filters into the
ground, rather than running off to a storm drain.
